Slope question

Post by clemsontigerfanatic »

The adventure princess/guides run a 10" long car 16 oz. max weight

The slope goes from 5' to 1 1/2' at a constant slope for 20'
sharp transition and the from 1 1/2' to 0 at another constant slope for 20 '

No flat

We had most of the weight at the back. We were slow. The car that gets out of the gate first almost always wins

My question is should this be a center weighted car or front loaded?

I found it interesting that even though there is no center guide the cars that went to one side and stayed there were the fastest.

Back to watching ACC tourney even though Clemson got whupped.
